📍 Daily Nearby Garage Sales Alerts via Telegram

This n8n workflow delivers personalized garage sale notifications every morning at 7 AM directly to your Telegram. It starts with a schedule trigger, fetches your current location from Home Assistant, then scrapes and parses listings from Brocabrac.fr—a French garage sale directory. Events are filtered for proximity and quality, ensuring only relevant 'treasures' nearby are selected.

Key benefits include zero-effort discovery for second-hand shoppers, thrift hunters, and bargain enthusiasts. Save hours of manual searching across sites; get curated, location-aware alerts instantly. The workflow handles parsing complex listings, distance calculations, and neat formatting for easy reading in Telegram.

Ideal use cases: Daily routines for flea market fans in France, automated personal shopping assistants, or as a base for similar location-based alerts (e.g., markets, events). Customizable for other regions by swapping scrapers. Integrates seamlessly with n8n's no-code nodes for HTTP requests, splitting, looping, and messaging—robust error-handling via batches keeps it reliable.

Perfect for lifestyle automation, turning scattered online listings into actionable, personalized intel without apps or subscriptions.
